those cars are really cheap but are not the norm the prices seem to really drop when the cars get over 70- 80,000 klms, most nur editions are still getting at least 5 and a half million yen at auction there just seem to be alot more accident high k cars coming up the good low milage cars are still getting good money, so the 34 prices really have not come down to much in the last 4 to 6 years in japan and also our strong aussie dollar is playing a part as well i think.

With only 12,000 34 GTR's made i would not be surprised if a good late model 34 GTR m-spec v-specII or any of the NUR editions etc go for more then a 35 GTR in several years time as i would imagine their will be a hell of alot more 35's made then their were 34's

So they should I reckon.

I think that the 34 GTR even at its current pricing is not good value for money.

The interior is VERY ordinary for a 40k plus car, there nudging on 10 years old now and there not exactly rare.

They are a nice looking/performing car though - still.

You dont buy cars to make money, let alone a GTR!

As ben said, each new model means the last one goes down in price, but there will ALWAYS, ALWAYS be R34 (and even some R33) owners who refuse to edit their prices to suit the market and wont accept that they own a depreciating item

Lower R34 prices is great, they're almost at the point where i will buy one and sell my supra

think it will bring the price of R32 GTR's down at all ? Or have they pretty much hit rock bottom ?

There are more and more out there for around 20k with full rebuilds and 15k of receipts, so its 5k for the car (within reason). I think they've hit rock bottom already

I'm noticing more 33 and 34 gtr's on Sydney roads every day. Particularly 34's. This is definitely washing off the 'sparkle' of seeing a gtr on the road. Seeing a 34 gtr used to be like seeing a new Ferrari, not so much now.

Good? Bad? Both.

^^Hmm so true they are still rare in comparision but they dont have the wow factor they used to. I was seriously thinking of a 34 but now with the r35 being release the 34 really seems out dated. Think if I was to get one I would get a NUR model, as its rare therefore will hold value long term and still be special.

I guess both... its good because theres more eye candy + more people are able to afford and own such a beast... but then its bad I guess because its doesnt give you the same wow factor as when it wasnt many on the road - use to be like "OMG OMG ITS AN R34 GTR DAMN WHAT A BEAST!" nowadays its like 'R34 GTR its nice' and then move along to whatever I was doing.

Looking in Jspec

2001 R34 GTr Vspec = 42K and a

2004 R34 VspcII Nur ed. = 68K.

I look on their from time to time and have not seen them this low. Maybe for a 1999 model. Give it another 12 months and I reckon a late model R34 Vspec II would be in the high 40s.

04 NUR ??? I don't think so dude... The very latest it could be is 02..

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
